The Beauty of Scars

The world can’t change its heart
of scars, they are tattooed on every inch:
silver words of sorrow and hurt
birthing poems from blood and dirt,
reminding us where we began
and giving hope that we might end
in a place where everyone
appreciates the beauty of scars.

So much pain. It does seem too much to change. But i think humankind missed out bigtime on how life was meant to be. I love how wise and clear-eyed these young ones are….Grace and Greta and Emma……sigh. your poem is so sadly beautiful.

Sooo good, Kim. For sure scars and tattoos dont go away, they stay. Like, “The world can’t change its heart of scars, they are tattooed on every inch,” I haven’t a tattoo and cant decide where it goes if I were to get it.
